[http://www.agsystems.com Associated Global Systems] (AGS) began business in 1958 operating as a domestic and international air freight forwarder. The Company found a special niche in offering highly personalized and flexible services that were not offered by competitors. Shippers were able to receive benefits that were not readily available elsewhere at that time. These included a guaranteed 60 minute pickup, 24 hours a day.
The dedication to flexibility, customization to meet customers needs and maintaining the highest quality standards in service continued to be a major factor in the Company’s growth over the years. Stations were opened nationwide, with additional services added to meet the requirements of a changing marketplace.
Over the past few years, the Company has greatly expanded its capabilities to offer clients an even wider variety of services in transportation and logistics. The company offers a complete menu of services worldwide, both air and surface, including on-demand courier services, in all major and secondary cities in the U.S. and overseas.
The Company recognized the globalization trend several years ago and invested in expanded international transportation and logistics facilities. A separate international division was created and staffed with industry professionals in every mode of international transportation. Combined with its extensive domestic coverage and experience, AGS believes it is in position to offer unique benefits and services to a broad range of customers that cannot be matched by competitors.
AGS also believes it has created the most efficient and extensive network system in the industry, enabling it to offer service levels unmatched by competitors.
The worldwide AGS system consists of a series of partnership agreements and alliances with major companies in transportation and logistics both in the U.S. and overseas. Through these special alliances and working agreements, AGS established permanent, instant, full-time access to the very best transportation and logistics resources everywhere in the world. The company structured these resources into a global system overseen by experienced specialists using the latest information technologies. It allows the Company not only to choose between resources, but also to use them in new combination as customers demand.
These alliances with numerous companies cover many functional areas, i.e., warehousing, logistics support services, distribution services and custom brokerage.
Similar partnership agreements are in effect worldwide that give AGS the capability of meeting customer requests for overseas air and ocean import and export transportation services, international distribution services in Europe, the Far East and South America as well as worldwide spare parts inventory management.
The AGS "Network System" also gives the company excellent capabilities to offer door-to-door service to more than 200 countries around the world, a major trend and fast growth area of international shipping.
In addition, AGS maintains, for its retail merchandising service, a nationwide group of specialists in fixture installation and retail merchandising support. This group operates from its own facilities as well as from AGS regular terminals. AGS is well positioned to help companies meet the demands of their customers in merchandising and sales support.
The company places a high priority on developing technology to meet customer expectations and to innovate systems that will allow the company to expand its markets. AGS has a comprehensive, interactive web site that allows customers to initiate orders for air, ocean and logistics services from anywhere in the world, 24 hours a day, track shipment status and run numerous reports. Each customer is eligible for their own customized website[http://www.myags.com myAGS.com] that allows them to access shipping, accounting and reference material around the clock.
